A major winter storm is expected to impact travel across parts of the southern, central, and eastern United States from January 23rd through at least January 26th. Forecasts call for heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the Southern Plains into the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, creating hazardous conditions and prompting widespread winter weather advisories.

Air travel disruptions are likely as airlines implement schedule adjustments, ground delays, and prepare for operational disruptions at affected airports. Multiple carriers have issued travel waivers, and travelers should expect delays, cancellations, and longer connection times. Road travel may also be impacted by icy surfaces, reduced visibility, and temporary highway closures, particularly in rural or less-traveled areas. Power outages are possible in areas affected by ice accumulation and strong winds, which could further impact transportation services.

Advice

• • Monitor local news for updates & follow all official directives.
  • Confirm all transport reservations.
  • Prepare a three-day supply of provisions and non-perishables.
  • Avoid unnecessary travel and check for road closures before heading out.
